From the Dungeons of Morningstar, my name's Stretch,
and I'm Clint, and this is Prevailing Strange.
This instalment of Prevailing Strange is what
we like to call Rant and Sundry, where we rant
out the week by expanding on some of the subjects
we've previously touched on, or wander aimlessly
wherever the tangents take us. Because, you know.
It's Rant and Sundry. You're a piece of shit,
by the way. Why am I a piece of shit? The fact
that you've recently told me that you pre -record
all your intros and I have to do every single
outro, you sack of balls. I've done it today.
You wrinkly scrot. To try it. Only because every
time I do it, I'm going to fucking go back and
splice it in. You're down here, go. Doing these
ones while I'm trying to fucking record something.
The amount of times I try and say fucking, welcome
back to Rant and Sundry or fucking whatever,
and you go, and I fucking crack up laughing halfway
through. Yeah, but that was like a minute ago
when I was trying to do the sign out. I was just
trying to put my thongs on. You know, like I
forgot exactly how to do that. I've done it a
lot of other times. Man, fucking I was down here
by myself and the amount of takes I took to fucking
get the gun right. Well, they better be fucking
good. I hope so. Yeah. I've got a joke for you.
Oh, yeah, hear me. What kind of bee can't fly
right? I don't know. A Kobe. Oh, shit. Did you
ever see the meme? And it was just God with a
helicopter going, Kobe, into the wall. Fuck off.
Is it too soon? I don't know if it's too soon.
Oh, no. Oh, fucking hell. What's the difference
between a dirty bus stop and a crab with breast
implants? Say that again. What's the difference?
Okay. Between a dirty bus stop and a crab with
breast implants. One is a dusty bus station.
The other is a busty crust station. Yes. Oh,
that punchline did not disappoint. Oh, what is
a dusty bus station? Oh, fuck off. That was good,
man. Well done. Tip of the hat. Why do those
with foot fetishes enjoy losing? I don't know.
Because they relish the taste of defeat. That
was shit. You're still fucking laughing. Oh,
dude, the shittest ones are the best. I saw a
nun trip and fall. I did what anyone would do.
I ran to her sister. You know where's Wally?
Yeah. Why does he wear stripes? I don't know.
Because he doesn't want to be spotted. Fuck yes.
Where's Waldo for all you Americans watching?
Why is church like a laser gun? What the fuck,
dude? That came out of nowhere. You said only
five jokes and you've done six already. Pew,
pew, pew. That's so icky. I was looking at my
notes and I saw that. Pew, pew, gotcha. Did you
see who else they cast in Street Fighter? No.
I only saw the Chung Lee announcement. Okay.
It was probably fake. Why? Who? Oh, 50 Cent.
It fell wrong. And Jason Momoa as Blanco. No.
That'd be bigger news. That'd be way bigger news.
What was it? No, it was Blanco. Okay. Have you
watched that Foundation? Negative. No, neither
have I. I read the book. Didn't mind the book.
What's that? Foundation. Yeah. Sci -fi fucking
based on a book from fucking 70s. Yeah, right
on. Yeah. I've never heard of it. Yeah, about
the fall of mankind on Earth and their fucking
push out to the stars and then this big fucking
kind of paradigm shift between the fucking –
the haves and the have -nots and, yeah. I don't
know. It's gone – there's like – Foundation,
Foundation, something else. Foundation, this.
There's like eight books or something like that.
Right, okay. No, I haven't heard anything about
it. But I do like a world -ending, you know,
sci -fi. Well, I'm leaning into the sci -fis
at the moment with the books and stuff. I'll
have to hit a palate cleanser soon for something
else. Horror or fantasy again. Oh, yeah. I think
I really want to reread Hail Mary again. Just
a freshen before. Finish fucking Dungeon Crawler
Carl. Yeah, I know. I have to get on with that.
I haven't got much to go. I'm still on. Butcher's
Masquerade, aren't you? No, pass that. I am.
I am on the Eye of the Bedlam. Eye of the Bedlam
Bride. Okay. Oh, is that the last one? No, I
don't think it's the last one. You're getting
there. I've just got M and Dave on to Starlink.
Oh, yeah. Dude, they were getting, like, 30 megs
a second out there. They couldn't, like, stream
in two rooms at once. Yep. I'm like, dude, you've
got to get on Starlink. Yeah, right. Out here,
like, our Starlink at home is, like, 256 meg
a second. Jesus. And our NBN, when we had it,
which was apparently the fastest internet you
could get, was 50. That was it, capped out 50.
And then, yeah, when we got Starlink, I'm like,
you guys will get so much faster than we get.
Yeah. And the reason being is congestion. Congestion?
Yeah. Because they're out in the open. Yeah,
because they're out in the bush. There's no houses
around them. Nice. Have you ever seen the Starlink
satellites go over? No. Wild, man. Yeah, right.
Because they're in a line. Yeah. And, like, best
time to see satellites is just after the sun
goes down or just before the sun comes up. And
you see them. It's like a fucking zipper going
across the sky. Yeah, right. And they're so fucking
fast. You see like fucking anywhere between eight
and 18 of them in a row. What, with a telescope
or just naked eye? Naked eye. Bullshit. They
just fucking look like shooting stars, but fucking
in a dead line moving real fast. Yeah, right.
It's fucking wild, man. I've seen it twice now.
But yeah, real cool. We're going to have to fucking
get out there and have a look. Yeah. I'm pretty
sure there's an app you can fucking check out.
Yeah, right. Pretty much. Once that sun goes
down and just as it gets dark, when the sun's
still kind of shining on that part of the sky,
it's the best time to see him. I've seen it twice
now on the way to work. Yeah, right. That time
of day, yeah. Dude, that'd be sick. Yeah, it
is pretty cool. Well, I reckon it's only going
to get faster, dude. It's only going to get faster.
Yeah. And I can't wait for that to happen. They're
going to bring a Starling mobile, dude. Holy
shit. Could you imagine getting reception everywhere
on earth? Yeah, I mean. Except Russia. Yeah.
Anyway. You got physically clustered then while
your butt went. No. Did it? No. I was just playing
it up. Yeah, I think. Anyone's going to get that
Starlink for when we go our way up to fucking
Lower Creek because it's fucking – you go up
there and you've got no reception whatsoever.
You go up there for fucking five days of building
sheds and have no contact with anybody. Fuck
that. I'd go insane. Most of the time the people
that we're building sheds for will come up and
we can use their phone to call home and shit
like that. But, yeah, there's fucking no contact
with the outside world. No, thanks. I can come
back into fucking reality and get thousands of
fucking – and shit on it. You couldn't, well,
you couldn't pay me enough to be away from civilization.
I mean, I have a good time. We go up there, we
fucking work during the day, fucking drink in
the afternoon, build a fire, look at the sky,
watch satellites. Oh, okay. That sounds all right
now. Yeah. So do you actually camp out? Yeah.
Well, the last time we took my caravan up there.
Yeah. Just fucking fire going, fucking, yeah.
Fuck yeah. Yeah, barbecue some meat and we just
eat meat and bread and cheese for fucking five
days and – Sounds so fucking cool. Get paid for
it. It's pretty cool. Nice. Hard on the body
but good on the soul. Oh, dude, yeah, you can't
put a price on that. I do miss working outside.
Oh, I hate it. Like cold, hot. Yeah, it's either
cold or hot or raining. Yeah, but like – Putting
up a shed's pretty cool. You get to see something
by the time you're done, you've fucking finished
product, and it's me, Huck, and then Dan. It's
good times. Yeah, fuck no. That'd be cool. Yeah.
Is that all him and Huck do, is put sheds up?
No, no, no. Huck's an electrician. Yeah. He's
got a day job. I've got a day job. And Dan's
halfway between fucking transitioning, I think.
Yeah, right. So it's actually doing well for
him, bud. Yeah, yeah. Sweet. Yeah. He's doing
like awnings and mezzanines and shit like that.
Yeah, nice. As well. Yeah. We just, I only kind
of help out for the big ones. Yeah. The ones
where we go away. Has he got another crew that
works for him? No, he's got at least one other
fella that helps out as well. Yeah. Yeah. Dude,
that'd be sick. Just going and hanging out with
your mates for a week. Yeah. Doing some work.
Big dog sheds. Get on it. Big dog sheds. Get
out on it. In case you haven't noticed, I'm trying
to soothe my brain that's running 100 mile a
minute with just obscene shit to say. Say it.
No. Say the obscene shit. I'll just cut it out.
Now, where's the fun in that? I'm getting tattooed
soon. I'm very nervous. Oh, yeah? I'm scared.
Brian's finishing the back of my leg. Nice. I'm
scared. Why are you scared? Because it hurts.
The leg does hurt, actually. And then Ali. One
of the toolboxes got upstairs and she has all
tattooed for it. I'm like, why does everybody
want to hurt me? She didn't tattoo me for it.
No, fuck you. I've got shit to finish. I've got
Darth Vader to finish on my arm. Yeah, nice.
But I hate getting tattooed. Yeah, that's not
fun. No, not at all. It's stupid because that's
how everybody pays my bills. Yeah, it's gnarly.
Like people who will go in and say they'll do
fucking, you know, they'll flex and do a full
day and whatnot. Fuck that. I do four hours.
Four hours is good for me. Yeah. I don't want
to get to the point where I'm shaking. No. Like
there's nothing to be fucking like. I say four
hours, but when printing was doing my back, I
was like an hour and get the fuck out. I was
screaming, man. You're such a pussy ass bitch.
I bitch and moan about all these people on the
Instagram. No, no, no. I winch and bitch and
moan about all these people that are going and
getting put to sleep. Oh, yeah. And getting like
full back pieces in a day. Wouldn't it be nice
to have money? I'd fucking do it. Imagine being
able to fucking fly your artist out there to
fucking. It's like fucking 15 grand or something
to get put to sleep for the day and get tattooed.
But I'd fucking pay it. See, it's wild because.
They worry about putting you under for too long
for doing just a normal operation. Yeah, but
it's only eight hours or something I think they're
asleep for. Yeah, but that's – Is that a long
time? Yeah. Is it? Yeah. I think it's like after
two or three hours they start fucking – it's
like, okay, you've been asleep for this long.
It becomes a big deal. Yeah, right. Well, look,
it doesn't defeat the purpose that if I become
a millionaire I'm going to do it. Unless it's
like a twilight. What does that mean? So you're
not quite under. You've got a stupid chick mouth
breathing all over you. This is the skin of a
killer. Yeah. No, it's like a family just put
you under and, like, locals and shit like that.
I don't know. Yeah, right. I know when I got
my scar done, it was two and a half hours of
getting my skin cut out. You regret that? Yeah,
I do. Because of the way it's turned out? Yeah.
I could have easily got a mate of mine to do
like an 18 -round shader and just chew some white
in there and it would have done the exact same
thing in half the time. Quarter of the pain.
But, dude, it's very inconsistent. I don't know
if you can see much of it. Not when you've got
a fucking beard growing over it. Shut up. Well,
that was the thing. I wanted it deep enough so
that my hair didn't grow through it anymore.
No offence, your beard's not really thick enough
to kind of. Yeah, that's a fuck you, Jeremy,
but like you can't really. Is it on that side?
It is on that side, isn't it? It's on that side,
yeah. Is it? Yeah. Yeah. But like in the cold
it swells up, like especially up here, it swells
up and gets so painful. Yeah. Like still painful.
Yeah. I was seeing a masseuse a couple of years
back. And he was spooning me, not in a sexy way.
Okay. So he'd get a spoon and scrape it. Breaking
it up. And breaking it up. Scar tissue, yeah,
okay. But dude, it was, oh my God, it was like
getting it done all over again. It was excruciating.
Do your tattoos get itchy from time to time?
Yeah. Like scar tissue? Yeah. Something they
don't tell you about. No. And sometimes they'll
swell up. Yeah. Get raised and shit. Yeah. The
one on my back? Yeah. All the time? And then
my fucking thighs get itchy all the time. You
want me to scratch them? Yes, please. Yeah, it
happens. It still happens in the fact that I'm
a skirt. Like, there's so much shit that I want
to finish, but there's so much shit I'm scared
to get done. I'm just a broke -ass bitch. I wish
I could get more tattoos. I mean, I don't want
to fucking go, you know. Overstating my welcome.
Here we fucking go. Oh, that's what I wanted
to show you. What? I wanted to show you Ginger.
What? Ginger. We can do it now. What's Ginger?
Ginger, the band Ginger. The band Ginger? Yeah.
Okay. So I've explained to you before, this is
Ginger. I've dead set. This chick fascinates
me. I told you last week what her name was. But
this is Pisces by Ginger. I thought I told you
about this one. I'll be a friend of mine who
swallows suffering with smile Give us a tight
feel there. It never changes. Yeah, I'm waiting
for the change. You're fucking sick as hell.
Yeah, these guys are fucking kick -ass. That's
cool that she can switch up on that. Yeah. fucking
good is that shit fuck yeah yeah she's like the
whole band is so fucking good and when they're
live insane well that was a live session yeah
sick but like even playing like their live shows
insane and she's incredible um just the way she
can like three different voices in one man's
insane but she just killed it see this is the
stuff and then like oh Fucking Ronnie Redkey.
Look at them traps. Oh, dude. And that's what
I like about music is like you have those formative
years when like I didn't like music up until
high school. Yeah, okay. Nothing. I didn't like
anything. No, that's fair. I agree with that.
And then, I don't know, the brain chemistry changed
and I started resonating with certain things
and just. then it kind of formed this whole fucking
symbiotic fucking relationship throughout that
adolescence to adulthood. I think I was a bit
young. I think I was in year four. I was around
that age, but it was my cousin Chad would make
me, like he would always have, he was only a
couple of years older than me, but he would always
have like the use your illusion, use your illusion
too, and I had it all on a tape deck. And he
would like, because I had a. a red box that had
the two tapes either side and the little equaliser
on the front, you know what I mean? Oh, yeah.
And he would bring me every second Saturday night
we'd have a barbecue at my mum and dad's house
and everyone would, the whole family would come
up and he would always bring me up a mixture
of tapes. So it had like Gunners, ACDC, Metallica,
a bit of Sloan, all that sort of shit. So I was
fucking sick and that's how I got into music
and, yeah. Yeah. It's just. It's funny that I
think a lot of people get into this funk where
they just don't want to listen to anything beyond
what they listened to in those formative years.
But I just love hearing new music. Or it doesn't
even have to be new music, just music I haven't
heard before. Back in school, if it weren't metal,
fuck off. Basically, yeah. If it weren't metal
or cypress hill. Yeah. And then, say, year eight
or nine, Eminem. And then it wasn't until, I
want to say about 13 years ago, when I was going
to different pubs and I used to go to this place
out at Laguna, the Laguna Wine Bar. And it was
just, I'd go out there with all these amazing
people and they'd all get up and take turns playing
music. Been there a few times myself. Incredible.
And that's where I fell in love with, like, funk
and, like, just all this other music because
everyone get up and just play. Yeah. And it was
amazing. And, dude, the amount of fond memories
I've got is insane and it all goes back to, yeah,
music. Fuck yeah. Every time. Like, everything
that's good that's happened in my life, I can
always attribute it to a song or contribute it
to an artist I was listening to at the time.
Yep. So, yeah. Yeah, I love music. I'm glad you
like that. I was a little bit apprehensive about
showing you that one. Nah, fuck no. I love that
shit. It was so good. It's funny. The dude playing
the cello, Yo -Yo Ma, there's an episode of Seinfeld
where Kramer's going crazy calling out, Yo -Yo
Ma, Yo -Yo Ma, or something like that. And it
took me until I heard this song maybe three years
ago. I'm like, Yo -Yo. Kramer? What? Yeah, I
had no idea. Mate, he was closing ass, that guy.
He was shredding. Yeah. Look at him up there.
Oh, yeah. No, that was good, man. I love that.
But see, like I even get jollies out of fucking
M83, man, like electronic artists like Skrillex
and shit. The song outro makes me feel more shit
than I ever should and it's literally a handful
of words. Yeah. And the rest is just instruments.
Yeah. Fuck yeah. But I've never been talented
enough or, you know, had the skills to play an
instrument. Still doesn't mean I can't appreciate
that sort of shit. Absolutely. 100%. Yeah. I
hope you get out there and check out some new
music for yourselves. Fucking oath. Music makes
the world go round. It's not money. Fuck money.
Yeah. Art. Get music. Music. Art. 100%. Get music.
Get money. Just don't put it on Spotify because
they use it for the war machine. Wrap us up,
mate. That's us for this week, mate. If you'd
like to comment, subscribe, do all the stuff
that you'd like to do. Tell us your music. Tell
us everything you've been consuming through the
week. Just tell us we're dickheads. Do whatever
you like as long as it's interacting with us.
Yes, please. I've heard that talking to yourself
is the first sign of insanity. We're talking
to each other. What he said. Life beats chicken
grease.
